WHAT: Sew Evening to work on twin size QuiltCon quilt we are submitting as a guild.

"As a way of giving something back to QuiltCon’s host city of Austin, Texas, we’re going to use the blocks that aren’t selected for this quilt to make quilts for each of the 46 beds at the Austin Children’s Shelter. This will be MQG’s first large-scale charity project ...." From the Modern Quilt Guild blog.

Come ready to measure, cut, press, piece, etc. I would like to get as much of this top done this night as we can.
